Anthony Hopkins: A Career in Character

In his own words, Sir Anthony Hopkins describes how a deeply troubled boy from Port Talbot, Wales, achieved two-time Oscar glory in Hollywood.

Deemed a failure by his parents, peers and teachers, Sir Anthony Hopkins has triumphed in memorable roles like Hannibal Lecter, King Lear and the Pope.

His extraordinary journey was paved with pain, rejection and addiction but was ultimately saved by love. As his memoir is published, the actor meets Katie Razzall in Los Angeles to tell his remarkable story.
